Mantis roadmap feature is similar to the changelog feature but it tracks planned features and fixes rather than the implemented ones. The roadmap feature is a core feature in planning future release and communicating that to the development team as well as the clients. It also provides a way to track the progress towards a release in terms of the work done vs. planned.

See also Roadmap Requirements

• Mantis 1.1.0a2: initial implementation
• Mantis 1.1.0a3: ability to set “target version” for multiple issues.

Following is a screenshot of a sample roadmap showing two releases.

• $g_roadmap_view_threshold - This configuration option is used to set the access level that is required for users to be able to view the roadmap. Users below this threshold will not be able to do the following:
  • Visit the roadmap page or see the menu option.
  • View/Edit the “target version” field on the View/Update Issue Advanced Page.
  • Filter by “Target Version”.
  • View/Export the “Target Version” field in the View Issues, Export CSV, etc.

• Releases that are not marked as released.
• Issues that have a “Target Version” set.

This can be done by selecting the issues in the View Issues page and then selecting “Update Target Version” from the combo box at the bottom and clicking go. This will re-direct to a page where the target version can be selected and the setting confirmed.
